Jonsson Performance Hall, UT Dallas CampusOver the past three decades, we have witnessed the exponential rise of China. The G7 has become the G20, and China has become a force to be reckoned with both economically and politically. But culturally, China still remains a mystery to most of the world outside. We are living in an historical moment in which the old world order--economically, politically, and culturally--is being reconfigured. How will Chinese culture change world culture? What does this antique civilization called China have to offer philosophically in this moment of crisis?

Moreover, the symposium brings together many Air America veterans, a number of men rescued by Air America, and the CIA "customers" who often placed their lives and missions in the hands of this once-secret air proprietary.

The city has invited all citizens, social organizations, and civic groups to participate in this event to help clean up the community, and UT Dallas Alumni Relations is forming a trash bash team to help clean up the areas around the UT Dallas campus. Join our team and have a great time meeting other UT Dallas alumni at the Trash Bash! Trash bags and release forms will be provided. Register Now!
